I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it: Go to: Control Panel > Internet Options Security tab: Click the "Custom level..." button Scripting -> Active scripting -> Enable -> OK

Has anyone seen my wallet?

Thank you all very much! You've helped me a LOT !

Working now. Thanks Rich!

I sent you a PM so take a look at that. I expect on the wedge in my model you aren't clicking on a component when you move it. Instead of trying to tilt the component into position, draw it in place at the correct angle. I can show you that. As for making it easy to measure from it, when adjust the component axes correctly you'll be able to drag a copy out from the In Model components library and it'll sit flat on the ground plane.

It's just the way SketchUp appear to currently work.

Awesome Very helpful thank you!

IRC is Internet Relay Chat. Like the forums, but a bit more real time. The link is for the Wikipedia page on IRC. Its an interesting read Will. It also cast some light on my ignorance Could you bullet list the main advantages of such a system of communication? Mike Compared to the forums? Well, there is one main advantage: How quickly you get a response. We are talking about near real time. That might or might not happen here. Also, I used to use the forums at space.com. Those are long gone. But the space channel at Freenode has been there for 8 years and and still going strong.

Nope, not a bug. Here's another example. I just softened the edges on the cubes but on the right I first made offsets on the three visible faces. After softening the cube edges, I hid the offset lines and you can see how that affects shading. [image: 84MB_shading.png]

*You need the latest version [v8M2] to get that installer button. If you install it you will not loose any plugins or other preferences you have set for the current version. The SketchUcation 'Plugin Store' dialog based toolset also allows you to Auto-Install plugins, but that requires at least the newest version of v8 too. Another way is to rename the 'xxx.rbz' file as 'xxx.rbz.zip' [an RBZ file just is a ZIP file with a different suffix] Then extract the files from the zip and install them manually into the Plugins folder, ensuring that the files and any subfolders of files are maintained in their same relative relationships as in the zip-file itself.* Necesitas la última versión [v8M2] para conseguir que el botón de instalación. Si lo instala usted no perderá ningún plugin o otras preferencias que ha establecido para la versión actual. Conjunto de herramientas de base de diálogo SketchUcation 'Plugins Store' también le permite a los plugins de instalación automática, sino que requiere al menos la versión más reciente de v8 también. Otra manera es renombrar el fichero 'xxx.rbz' como 'xxx.rbz.zip' [un archivo de RBZ simplemente es un archivo ZIP con un sufijo diferente] A continuación, extraer los archivos del zip e instalar manualmente en la carpeta Plugins, asegurando que los archivos y las subcarpetas de archivos se mantienen en sus relaciones relativas mismos como en el archivo zip en sí.

Thanks mate. I"ll have a play with those suggestions.

There's a plugin called Material Maintenance by Myhand. I use it daily, and if I understand what you need out of it, it'll do exactly what you need. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=48933&hilit=material+maintenance#p437121 Hope that helps! Matt

added door division for longer cabinets, dynamic openings...swing on side only.. try mirror door as part of visible/invisible maybe solution? added some dynamic attributes

There's already a ton of power there for controlling visibility. You can associate the parent component with one layer and the child components with other layers. This gives you all sorts of options for controlling what is visible and what isn't.

You have the new plugin by Arcs Circles+ by Didier Bur today!

Try this: Add the materials to a model. Just make squares or something and paint them with the colors you want to use. Go to the Colors in model library. Right click on each material and edit the name. Make sure you hit return after typing the name and close the Edit window before going to the next. After you've edited the names of the materials click on the List menu and choose Duplicate. Give the duplicate library a name of your choice and hit Ok. Done.

Hi bpjmarriott1993, Small adjustment to the board is required. You have to add some unified triangles to finish off. See attachment. [image: xNxc_20130715-SUF-Stairs.jpg] 20130715-SUF-BeginnerStairs.skp
